As a child growing up in the 80's Bushwick, Brooklyn during the inception of Hip Hop, most of my profound memories are of block party's, double dutch, break dancing, graffiti and street corner lyrical rhyming as expressions of art. My mom, a NYC school teacher taught me to reach my fullest potential. These things along with my fondest memories of my Nana Mabel gave birth to the brainchild, Nana's Baby. When it was time to come up with a name for the company, I came up with plenty of names but none of them rang true to my heart and soul, like the sound of Nana's Baby. It's the ties that bind! Whether you call her Nana, Nani, Mema, Grammy, Gammy, Granny or just plain ole' Grandma it's synonymous with pure love! Nana's Baby toys and tees speak to everyone! Nana's Baby toys take a different approach to learning. The toys are in the developmental phase right now and coming soon to a store near you! Nana's Lil Baby (a division of Nana's Baby, LLC) tees blends some of the sayings from "back in the day" with graffiti art, giving the t-shirts a nostalgic feel. It also incorporates some of today's hippest sayings for the urban line and a sports collection for the fanatic in you! Sayings like "Tee Time" for the future Golf guru and "Baby Love" for the future tennis star are just some of the examples from the sports line. We also have downright adorable sayings like Shop 'Til You Drool and Original Recipe! Nana's Lil Baby t-shirts make the perfect gift for your baby or grandbaby. Even as a gift it will surely be taste of tradition with a twist! Cause every baby is Nana's Baby! |
Silke Endress: Angela, please give an inspiring message to young apsiring entrepreneurs. Stay true to your heart and soul. Sometimes we as entrepreneurs tend to wander and get discouraged but never waiver from your dream. Always live and most importantly love your passion! Silke Endress: What is your favorite quote? My favorite quote is from my Nana Mabel, who always used to say: "Ain't nothing to it but to do it, baby!!" It was simple, sweet and to the point. That's how I live every facet of my life. |
fter the birth of my third child, Madison Mabel, I felt there was something missing from developmental toys and baby tees. Nana's Baby! |
